Huskies in denial

201 is "almost" a prime number. It is divisible by 1 and itself, but also by 3 & 67, hence it is not a prime number. But that is from a nerdy analyst's point of view. I assume you meant it as a great or grand or worthy number.

Yeah, it was late...


What I really meant is that it is a centered icosagonal number

201 x 627 = 126027 ( the product has the same digits as its factors)


201n +2 are prime where n= 14,15, 16

And it's a KAPREKAR constant, base 4

199 is the closest prime...

Hoorah for 'Auto Pilot' passing 200! That's gotta be a record for quickest member to 200. (Unless Geezer or Stonehouse beat it.)

At this rate, I'll be looking up at you by Christmas!

FAN,
thats a hoot what movie was that from. I have heard it before...I think.

Honestly, that was off the top of my head. (However, there's always the possibility I ripped it off subconsciously from a movie. Or, I've heard many variations of that in film and TV, and just came up with a similar line of something vaguely familiar.)

Geezer - all due respect, but don't you think this post belongs in a completely different forum? Like perhaps Rocket Science or a Stephen Hawking website???

Nah, if it had been one of those forums, I would have waited until 223 and pointed out that:

it's prime

=71 + 73 + 79 (Sum of consecutive primes)
and
=19 + 23 + 29 + 31 + 37 + 41 + 43 ( again , the sum of consecutive primes)

You'll be at a prime at 733, BTW

Geezer, the Renaissance man!

You'll be at a prime at 1163 , Stoney....

Oh snap! I didn't even realize what my post count was... I think this must mean something, Geezer. And you know what I think it means? I think it means Pilot domination. I mean... what else could it be, right?

By the way... Pilot Nation definitely has passed 1500 for this month. Now, if we could end up with a prime as our total post count for September (1543 maybe?), now THAT would be something.

The only prime I care about is a good prime rib dinner. And all the trimmings!

(Are we still talking about "Huskies In Denial"?)

At FANatics request the we get back on topic, I offer this (apologies to mathematician Charles Dodgson, aka Lewis Caroll)

How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of denial
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little Huskies in,
With gently smiling jaws!

I think I'm OK now...

Mildred took some drastic steps. She had to do this once before...

Geezer, you're taking me back to my days with Dr. McCoy (Mike not Joe) and Mr. Tom. Fun with numbers.
